ePub reader that gets along with Calibre Server?

Can anyone recommend a reader app for my new Motorola Triumph phone that handles ePub (converting my whole library would be a pain) and can load from Calibre's desktop server? Thanks!

I think Bluefire Reader can do it.

Won't they all work (all that read ePub)? Send your books from Calibre to your Triumph's storage and open them from within the app, right?

Or do you want an app that Calibre recognizes and sends books to direct (never heard of such, but what do I know?)

Enjoy your new phone!!

@Filark, what I had in mind was similar to how Stanza can access the server via network and download my books.

@JSWolf, on loading Bluefire, I see no way to access my Calibre server from the app.

Seanette, they almost all can do it if you talk about the calibre content server

I have tried a few of them and I particularly liked Mantano and Aldiko with a preference for Mantano. But you could just as well use fbreader.

You need to configure your reader to see your content server, it won't do it out of the blue. For that you need to use the opds feed.

For mantano, go to My Shops (or whatever it is called in english, sorry my interface is in french) then add a new catalogue with the adress of your content server.

I have posted some explanation here if you need them: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...4&postcount=11

Go to the Apple forum and read the Bluefire thread and it may say how to do this.
